Explains that spyware is going to be a more severe crime. One click of the button using Internet Explorer can cause major havoc on your computer. I spent the better part of a day getting rid of crap that was done by a single URL. Dont ever type in "Game Cheats" or any such thing in google with Internet Explorer.

P.S. Any programs that you have personally used to get rid of spyware and popups pass on
